What's that all about ?

Wumwum
is a window manager manager.
It manages window managers so that they place your
windows automatically the way a tile-based window
manager (ion
or awesome) would
do it.
This way you get the nice graphics of modern window
managers and the efficiency of
keyboard driven tiling-based managers.
Moreover you can still use all features of the underlying
manager and you keep all your keyboard shortcuts and
behaviour when switching from one manager to the other.
This video gives
a quick overview of wumwum's features.

After one whole year, Wumwum 0.9 is out! Due to some severe wrist injury I have been
prevented from coding for some time.

As usual you can get the changelog here.
This release introduces many changes in wumwum. It is now faster and more stable.
We don't rely on X11::Protocol anymore. If all goes well, version 1.0 will be released soon.
